However, even though the emperor expressed full trust in her and promised to continue to investigate the matter in depth, Mingtan still couldn't swallow this breath.
She was not a good-tempered person before time travel, and she was ruthless and vengeful in the workplace. Now that she is in Tiancheng, her nature is hard to change, so how can she let others pour dirty water on her?
Even if "the stick kills the palace lady", it is not a heinous event in this palace... But Ming Tan's reputation is already enough to pull her hips, and she doesn't want to continue to add to her notoriety.
What's more, Xiao Mingtan has never done such a thing.
It's just a little girl who is only eight years old, no matter how domineering and domineering, she is just a little playful and willful.Ming Tan, who came through the time travel, looked at her memories and even felt that she was far worse than those brats in her previous life.
How could such a child kill someone?
Whether it's to repay the favor or to plan for his future life, Ming Tan can't let this matter go easily.
A few days ago, she was restrained from staying at home, which almost caused Mingtan to lose her life. Now the empress did not dare to punish her to shut up and think about her mistakes. She just supervised Mingtan to take the medicine for a few days, and then promised her daughter, "Go out and meet her." Wind" request.
"The queen mother will let the mallow follow you," the queen told her helplessly, "it's enough to play around the Kunning Palace, don't run around, you know?"
"Yes, I would like to obey my mother's edict." Ming Tan smiled and blessed her, and happily ran out of Kunning Palace with the maid Mallow who was assigned to take care of her.
It was early summer at this time, the sun was shining just right, the outside of the palace was warm, and the breeze that was sent was wrapped in light fragrance, which was very refreshing.
Ming Tan stood there for a while, looking at Tian Chengchao's ingenious palace buildings, and sighed softly in his heart.
In her previous life, this dynasty never appeared.
It's as if the shaft of a car has turned in a different direction, and the track has made a bend. Tiancheng Dynasty is like a new road with dark willows and bright flowers. Although it has inherited the history, allusions, ancient books, poems, etc. that existed in the previous life, from top to bottom, From the inside to the outside, it is a new and strange era.
That is to say, Ming Tan will not meet any characters she has been familiar with in history books here, nor can she rely on her identity as a time traveler to plan for the future.
She came here alone, and she was completely cut off from her past.
"... Your Highness, Your Highness?"
After thinking silently for a long time, Mallow who was waiting beside her finally spoke, calling back the soul of Ming Tan who had been out of her body for a long time.
"You..." Mallow glanced at the scenery in front of her, hesitated to speak, "Are you going to the Imperial Garden?"
Ming Tan was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he realized that he had unknowingly walked to the side of a stone bridge at the entrance of the imperial garden.
The Royal Garden of Tiancheng Palace is very interesting.It is built next to a crescent-shaped garden lake, surrounded by water on the south, west and north sides, and adjacent to the Tianhong Palace, the emperor's bedroom, on the east.The rare plants among them are too numerous to enumerate, and seasonal flowers bloom in four seasons. The lake is either as calm as a mirror or sparkling, which can be called a great beauty in the palace.
The bridge where Ming Tan is now is one of the entrances to the Imperial Garden from the south.
Because the lake is crescent-shaped, the flowing water under the bridge in the south has thinned into a small river, which is making a gurgling sound, ringing like a ring.
Ming Tan tilted his head, looked at the mallow, and said innocently: "The flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just right, why don't you go and enjoy them?"
"But Your Highness, you have just recovered from a serious illness..."
"It doesn't matter."
Ming Tan didn't wait for her to finish, so he turned around on the bridge pretending to be impatient, and put up the airs of the princess, "Don't worry, I just don't touch those flowers and plants, and it won't make you unable to explain to the queen mother!"
After finishing speaking, she didn't care how Mallow tried to explain behind her, so she ran to the imperial garden on her own.
The purpose of Mingtan's trip is very simple: to find out the origin of the court lady Xia Tao who did not hesitate to kill herself to interrupt the clues.
Mallow saw that she was walking slowly while looking around. It seemed that she was really looking for the flowers, so she stopped talking and just followed the princess quietly, not daring to disturb her easily.
After walking for a while, just as Ming Tan was about to ask Mallow where he should go to find the palace servant in charge of the imperial garden, he suddenly heard a whispering voice coming from ahead.
"Hey, you know about the Kunning Palace, right?"
"How could you not know? Your Majesty and the Empress were furious about the fact that the Ninth Princess was poisoned! Yesterday, as soon as the princess woke up, Steward Sheng issued an order, saying that His Majesty had a decree to thoroughly investigate the harem. Come and interrogate our Imperial Garden!"
"Isn't that right... At dusk yesterday, that Xia Tao who had just come to the Royal Garden for a short time was taken away by the guards. It was obvious that she had something to do with the Ninth Princess!"
"Xia Tao? Is that the Xia Tao who was brought here by my aunt and arranged for her to be in charge of cleaning?"
"It's her! Sister, don't you know? The background of this girl is not that simple..."
The voices of the two gradually became inaudible.
Ming Tan squinted his eyes, staring at the bushes taller than a man in the front left, and suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
She waved her hand lazily, and Mallow immediately reacted, took a step forward, and shouted sharply: "Who dares to talk about Kunning Palace and His Royal Highness Ninth Princess? Don't hurry up: come out and confess!"
There were two screams from behind the bushes, and after a while, a pair of young palace ladies slowly emerged.When they looked up and saw Ming Tan, they were so frightened that their knees went limp, and they knelt down on the ground without crying, "The maidservants know their mistakes... I beg Your Highness the Ninth Prince to forgive me..."
Ming Tan folded his hands behind his back and smiled innocently, "Mallow, according to the palace rules, what punishment should be imposed if a servant talks about the master behind his back?"
Mallow looked solemn, and said respectfully: "Return to Your Highness, you should be bound fifteen times, and punished by kneeling for an hour."
The two maids looked at each other in horror, kowtowed to Ming Tan, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, please forgive me! They are all low-mouthed servant girls, and they only chew their tongues when they get dizzy for a while... Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
The two of them are not very old, and they work in the Imperial Garden, so how could they have received any serious punishment?In addition, Ming Tan is also notoriously difficult to get along with, so when she caught him, he was naturally terrified, afraid that the other party would really follow the palace rules to investigate the two of them.
A slap is considered light, but a kneeling penalty is the worst.
Ming Tan looked at the two maids with a smile for a while, and finally opened his mouth slowly when the younger one didn't hold back and let out a loud sob in fright.
"Get up, the princess has something to ask you."
The two people who were still terrified suddenly froze, and looked up at Ming Tan in disbelief, until they were glared at by Mallow, and then they suddenly realized that they stood up and saluted like amnesty: "Thank you, princess, for your forgiveness..."
"Ah."
Just when they breathed a sigh of relief and were thankful for their escape, the girl in front of her folded her hands again, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and she said calmly: "The maid Xia Tao you just mentioned... how about, Do you want to tell this princess too?"
……
After cross-examination, Ming Tan waved his hand and finally let go of the two little maids who were like frightened birds.
However, she was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she turned around and stared at a hydrangea that was in full bloom, with a thoughtful expression.
"Mallow, what is Yeting?"
"Return to Your Highness," Mallow hesitated, "Yeting is the secret prison of Yeting, located in a remote part of the palace, where concubines and maids who have committed serious crimes are confined."
"Oh?" Ming Tan raised his eyebrows, "Since it's a prison, it's natural that people who don't want to offend can come in and out freely?"
"What the princess said is right." Mallow nodded, and said in a low voice, "Those who have been thrown into the court must be amnesty... Once they enter that place, if there is no mercy from His Majesty or some empress, I'm afraid they will die." It’s hard to see the light of day.”
"Well……"
Ming Tan pondered for a moment, narrowed his eyes, the smile on his lips gradually disappeared, and his temperament suddenly became sharp.
"Then," she asked again, "what kind of concubine is qualified to raise a criminal in the court again?"
The aura of the young girl in front of her was quite frightening. Mallow subconsciously took a deep breath, calmed down, and then managed to calmly reply: "If you want to pick someone up from Ye Ting, I'm afraid this empress... should at least be among the nobles. On the concubine."
Below the imperial concubine is the noble concubine.
A gust of wind suddenly blew, and the dense branches and leaves were blown up and down. Ming Tan was still staring at the hydrangea, and when it was finally blown off the branch because it was too full, he stretched out his hand accurately and took the pale pink round flower. The ball caught in the palm of his hand.
"so."
She looked at the flower in her hand and gently curled her fingertips.
"The person who rescued Xia Tao from Yeting, and then arranged for her to go to the Imperial Garden to wait for an opportunity to assassinate me... counted from the noble concubine, those high-ranking concubines?"
Not long after returning to Kunning Palace, Ming Tan was summoned by the queen to speak before finishing today's dose of traditional Chinese medicine.
"I heard that Tan'er interrogated two maids in the imperial garden today?"
The queen took her hand, asked Ming Tan to sit beside her, and asked softly.
Ming Tan was not surprised.Mallow is the queen's most capable court lady next to Duye, not to mention Xia Tao's origin is also a big deal, she should naturally report to the queen.
"Yes, Queen Mother,"
Ming Tan guessed that Mallow had already explained most of the matter, so he simply omitted the antecedents, and said directly: "The two maids said that at the beginning of the month, an aunt who claimed to be the Shang Palace Bureau personally brought Xia Tao to the imperial court. The garden, let her take the position of maid of honor... The palace people in the imperial garden were quite surprised, and after chatting in private, they found out that Xia Tao was born as a sinner in Ye Ting. work."
The empress is in charge of the sixth palace, of course she knows the rules of the palace well.
She thought for a moment, calculated silently in her heart, and said, "In this way, Baihua porridge has also been in fashion since the end of last month..."
"Mother," Ming Tan held her hand and said firmly, "Someone must have deliberately murdered Tan'er!"
The queen pursed her lips, with a distinct sullen look on her face, and a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed fiercely.
However, after a few breaths, she let out a long sigh, and the eyes she looked at Ming Tan were gradually stained with deep guilt.
"Tan'er..." the queen said in a condensed voice, "it's my mother who is sorry for you."
Ming Tan raised his head blankly, met her eyes, and realized something at this moment.
... high-ranking concubines.
"Your royal father also knows that the person who dares to poison you must not be just a small court lady... However, the power of the harem is deeply involved. If you continue to go deeper, I am afraid that the previous court will be in turmoil because of this... "
Ming Tan pursed his lips and lowered his head.
She knew that this was the meaning of persuading her to let it go.
Just when the queen was talking and was about to cry with guilt, Ming Tan sighed, put his arms around her, and said softly, "Mother, don't be sad, Tan'er understands."
A woman who can manage every step of the way in the deep palace and become an existence overlooking most people is definitely not a simple role.
Either rely on family background, or rely on means, or a combination of both...
After all, Ming Tan's body is an adult's soul, she understands the emperor's difficulties, and also understands the empress's humiliation.It is related to the stability of the imperial court, and Mingtan's safety has been turned into safety this time. After comprehensive consideration, it is the best policy to stop and not investigate.
——But she still couldn't swallow the breath.
...Relax, rest in peace.
Ming Tan stretched out his hand, stroked his chest lightly, closed his eyes slightly, and whispered to himself in his heart.
I will definitely find out who killed you and avenge the two of us.
She was not a good-tempered person before time travel, and she was ruthless and vengeful in the workplace. Now that she is in Tiancheng, her nature is hard to change, so how can she let others pour dirty water on her?
Even if "the stick kills the palace lady", it is not a heinous event in this palace... But Ming Tan's reputation is already enough to pull her hips, and she doesn't want to continue to add to her notoriety.
